TGIF! What are your plans for the weekend? Isaac flew to LA early this morning for an art fair so I've got the apartment to myself (I'm psyched about this, but also soooo jealous, I just want to be sipping watermelon juice and vodka with him here). The struggle is real. Anyway, so far my plans include a cocktail here, binge watching some exceptionally bad television and forcing myself out for a jog through the slush. Have a beautiful one, friends. See my weekly round up below.

I'm Alexandra King-Lyles, a journalist and writer living on a tree-lined street in Park Slope, Brooklyn with my husband Isaac and two black cats. I moved to New York from London in 2009, thinking I would only stay for nine months. Seven years later, I'm still here. On The Street Where I Live, you'll find real talk about relationships, careers, interiors, books and fashion as well as snapshots and personal stories from a blissfully imperfect life. Welcome, I'm so glad you're here.
